A circular economy is one that is restorative and regenerative by design,

and which aims to keep products, components and materials at their

highest utility and value at all times, distinguishing between technical and

biological cycles

Five circular business models by Accenture

Circular Supplies: Provide renewable energy, bio based or fully recyclable input material to replace single-life inputs

Resource Recovery: Recover useful resources/energy out of disposed products or by-products

Product Life Extension: Extend working lifecycle of products and components by repairing, upgrading and reselling

Sharing platforms: Enable increased utilization rate of products by making possible shared use/access/ownership

Product as a Service: Offer product access and retain ownership to internalize benefits of circular resource productivity

Case Study – Ajman Wastewater

Page 12: Sustainable Finance Collective Asia (SFCA)

Sustainable Finance Collective Asia | November 2016

Emirate of Ajman

300,000 populationIndustry around port and inland

Close inter-relationship with Sharjah and Dubai

Page 13: Sustainable Finance Collective Asia (SFCA)

Sustainable Finance Collective Asia | November 2016

• City with growth of 7% per annum• 375,000 population in 10 years• New centralised wastewater system

• Sewers and interconnecting pumping stations• WWTP with outfall

• 95% connectivity to wastewater network• Tanker service for non-connected properties• Improvements to environment and City health

Conclusions

Page 14: Sustainable Finance Collective Asia (SFCA)

Sustainable Finance Collective Asia | November 2016

• WWTP located within a growing industrial area

• Industries require potable water for process and cooling

• High financial cost of potable water• Few water resources for developing

City• Variable quality of potable supply due to

high demand

Opportunity

Solution• Tertiary treatment plant built adjacent to WWTP• Membrane filtration to potable standards• Supply to high demand nearby industries• Tariff saving on potable water supply• Improved reliability of service and ease pressure on natural resources• Closed loop back to WWTP• 20% effluent reused in this way• 40% effluent reused for irrigation• Unexpected benefit – improvement to stability of WWTP process
